US Patrons

The Philharmonia Foundation and the American Friends of the Philharmonia Orchestra, Inc. are the Philharmonia's 501(c)3 charities, based in New York, dedicated to furthering the Philharmonia Orchestra's music-making in the USA.

The Philharmonia's US Patrons generously support the Orchestra’s work in the USA. This includes the November 2012 US Residencies and Tour led by Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen, which comprised of 10 concerts in 7 cities including UC Berkeley, Los Angeles and New York. The Philharmonia Orchestra hopes that its next tour to the USA will take place in 2015.

In the past year US Patrons enjoyed a range of attractive benefits in return for their invaluable support, including the following:

Opportunity to meet Esa-Pekka Salonen, Philharmonia musicians, and other artists at exclusive US Patrons receptions.

Complimentary tickets to concerts in the Lincoln Center in New York as part of the last leg of the Philharmonia Orchestra 2012 US Tour.

Access to US Patron Events Program: for the US tour in November, the Philharmonia organised a range of events, including a recital in a private home by two talented musicians from the Metropolitan Opera Young Artists Programme and the opportunity to view rare music manuscripts in the Morgan Library.

Priority and personal booking service for both international and US concerts.

Acknowledgement in London concert programs and US print.
